<header name="Natural Selection boulders" id="1" walk="40 min" sun="Afternoon" rock="Conglomerate" acknowledgement="By Ben Thorp and Moses Bassett" intro="The first area developed on Mt Owen. Some rare mudstone/sandstone extrusions in the conglomerate make for some interesting shapes and sloping holds. About a dozen problems so far but potential for 20-30." history="Developed by Mo and Ben 5th January 2024. With support from the West Coast Council. " access="From the shuttle drop off walk up the access road to the start of the Natural Selection mountain bike trail. Walk down this for 15 minutes or so and the boulders will be obvious to the right of the trail. Either walk back to the Spur and try to get back on the shuttle or walk out via Natural Selection to the Horsetail Falls carpark. When Natural Selection joins the Waterfall trail drop down to the river, cross this then look for the faint side trail that leads to Horsetail Falls carpark. About an hour to get out.
